Zagreb Pride

LGBT rights group Zagreb Pride is organising a protest entitled 'Love Is and Remains Stronger than Hate' on Monday at 6pm in the centre of Zagreb, after tear gas was set off at a nightclub in the capital during a LGBT party in the early hours of Sunday - an attack that was strongly condemned by Croatian officials.

The European Court of Human Rights, ECHR, on Tuesday fined Croatia for discriminating against same-sex couples by not granting residence permits to couples in which one partner comes from abroad.

The Pride Parade was held in Belgrade on Sunday for the the second year in a row.

The participants' walk from the government building to the Belgrade City Assembly passed without incident.

Belgrade Pride Week 2015 will take place from September 14 to September 20 and - unlike previous years - this time activists expect fewer problems to mar the event.

Belgrade Pride Week will be organized from September 14 to 19 and the Pride March will take place on September 20.

Members of the Belgrade Pride Organizing Committee announced this on Tuesday.

Organisers of Saturday's Zagreb Pride parade are appealing for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community and any citizens concerned about the repression of human rights to gather in the city centre in support of this year's anti-fascism theme.

Under the motto "Come out into a safer Split!," an LGBT Pride parade is set to take place on Saturday in the Croatian coastal city of Split.

The fifth annual Split Pride, organised by the local LGBT association Rispet, decided on the motto in order to shed light on the violence to which the LGBT community in Split is exposed on a daily basis.

Gay rights activists in Serbia held their first Pride march in four years, walking through Belgrade streets emptied of traffic and pedestrians by a massive security operation

The Pride parade, staged under the slogan ‘On the Right Side of the History’, saw protesters march through Zagreb on Saturday and hold a celebration in a city-centre park.
